That’s how it worked in Communist Poland as well as I understand it.

Oh yeah, and sticking it’s nose in where it is not wanted, not needed, and has no Constitutional power to mess with.

Don’t forget that...

If you don’t care whether your marriage is recognized by the state, then what is the problem?

If you are Mormon, or Muslim, or gay, or Catholic, just have your own religious ceremony at and be married to your wives, or gay friends.

Privatized marriage is, and always has been available.

Well, we could always stick with your idea and let government force acceptance of gay marriage down our throats at the end of a Federal Rifle...

How’s that workin’ out for us Sparky?

As silly and unrealistic as your supposed position is, that is what you propose, I want to fight gay marriage and polygamy, you do not.

Um... Because people like you want government deciding who gets “married” and who doesn’t. You Religions Official version...

“Because government has always done that. It’s tradition...”

Well, the Dems are using that to force us to accept their perversion.

Thanks for nothing...

People like you are pushing for gay marriage and polygamy, and to end marriage by removing any definition of it.

As silly as it is for you to try and pretend that you think America is just going to remove all laws related to marriage, it is sinister for you to promote the most radical leftist efforts to destroy marriage.

Well, no.

But I stopped expecting honesty from you a long time ago.

” The government has a tremendous interest in keeping marriage as the fundamental cornerstone of society”

Yea, they’ve done a bang up job of that. Government f**** up every single thing it touches.

Idiot.

One thing that never changes, you never address the issues, and personal attacks and cracks is all you make.

You haven’t offered anything worth while or relevant to this thread.

You war against marriage, but won’t explain why, or discuss it.

You mean having gay marriage and polygamy when the nation was founded was the better solution, and would have prevented gay marriage today, and the polygamy that is coming?

You are the one attacking me. I want traditional marriage uninterferred with by government.

You want the fag-Nazi’s FedGov normalizing them.

Piss off troll.

>> I’ve tried some of these same arguments here over the years.

As have I. The govt should stay out of the marriage business...

But the Marxists in power would find another way to stain the Country. So, I’m not sure that manipulating the conditions alone would matter.

The MSM is largely responsible for the failures, but hopefully new media will change that.

Another thing, homo-marriage is being promoted by other Western countries too. I believe this is indicative of a larger Progressive agenda we as Americans need to be aware of.

Listen sonny. Marriage worked fine in this country for over 200 years. If you don’t think we can or should even try to restore marriage to what it used to be, then you are part of the problem.

The govt was also less intrusive. Now it’s forcing the citizens to support and service homosexuality. It’s statism.

“Listen sonny. Marriage worked fine in this country for over 200 years”

And none of them were “licensed” by any governmental agency until well into the 20 century. You silly losers who can’t live without some government stamp of approval are the problem. More government isn’t the solution. But your too blind, stupid, or prideful to see that.

The best I can tell, is you want individuals and religions to just make up their own marriage rules and not worry about whether a government calls it legal or not, is that correct?

I understand your problem. You are a liberal and you cannot endorse any type of healthy marriage no matter how much it benefits the nation. As I said earlier you are part of the problem and entirely to blame for the sorry conditions we now face in this country.
